I love Olive Garden, but when they discontinued their spinach artichoke dip, I was heartbroken. So my best friend and I took it upon ourselves to create our own version of the dip (take that, Olive Garden).

We tried a billion recipes, and finally found a recipe that tastes better than Olive Garden’s. The secret ingredient? Goat cheese. It is everything you could ever want in a dip: cheesy, creamy, salty and hearty.

Ingredients

16 oz fresh spinach

14 oz can artichokes, drained and chopped

4 oz cream cheese

8 oz goat cheese

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1/3 cup mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoon garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Step 2

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add spinach and cook for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the spinach is wilted.

Step 4

Remove the spinach from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water. This will stop the cooking.

Step 5

Once spinach is cool, remove it from the water. Squeeze out any excess liquid.
